Hibs have signed former Hearts left-back Adam Eckersley.

The 30-year-old, who was banned for two games last season for headbutting then Hibs midfielder Scott Allan, has signed a short-term deal until January.

The Englishman is the second member of Hearts' Championship-winning squad to cross Edinburgh and sign for Hibs, following in the footsteps of James Keatings.

Eckersley told Hibs' official website: I'm delighted to have signed for Hibs.

We have a strong squad here and I'll be working hard to push myself into the manager's plans.

I know I can do well here and am looking forward to helping the team in the coming months.''

Head coach Alan Stubbs added: He has shown his ability at this level in the past and I'm confident he'll make a positive contribution here.''
